Virscient Collaborates With Infineon to Accelerate AIROC-based Wireless Design Development

Virscient, announced a new strategic collaboration with Infineon to support customers' design-in of Infineon’s connectivity products. Under this agreement, Virscient will provide expert design and engineering services, and licensable software solutions to help innovative OEMs and platform vendors rapidly deliver products integrating Infineon's AIROC Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo ICs – whether chip-down, or in modular form.

Virscient, a company specializing in wireless connectivity and audio technologies, announced the release of LiveOnAir – a technology that enables ultra-low-latency audio over low power wireless links. According to the New Zealand-based company, LiveOnAir changes the game for key applications in gaming, in live performance - including digital wireless microphones and in-ear monitors - and other audio application scenarios requiring tight synchronization.

Audio Codecs, a new Belfast-based company and the developers of the Skylark digital audio data compression algorithm designed for low latency, joined forces with Virscient, a New Zealand based RF consultancy house, to launch a new wireless audio transmission module using Bluetooth Low Energy. The solution uses a Nordic Bluetooth LE SoC to transmit a 24-bit/48kHz high quality, low latency digital wireless microphone signal.
